Abstract
The present invention provides a mechanism for supporting high digital bandwidth in a multi-drop bus system. A first device of the system encodes multiple bits in a symbol and drives the encoded symbol onto the multi-drop bus. Multiple receiving devices are linked to the bus through electromagnetic couplers. A receiving device samples the encoded symbol through the electromagnetic coupler and recovers the encoded bits from the sampled symbol.
